The Canada men's national ice hockey team represents Canada in international ice hockey competition, administered by Hockey Canada, and is one of the most successful and historically significant national teams in the sport, widely regarded, alongside the Soviet Union and Russia, as one of the two dominant powers of international ice hockey across the 20th and 21st centuries, having won multiple Olympic gold medals and IIHF World Championship titles. Playing in red and white, the team's most storied moment came in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, an eight-game series that captured national attention and is widely regarded as a defining event in Canadian sporting history, won by Canada on a legendary Paul Henderson goal in the final minute of the final game.
